Job Opportunity, help put pest control operators out of business! San Rafael

[Guest guest]

Hi Bay Area

Veg-heads!

 

Cool

job opening below. In the last few

months I’ve had a chance to get to know WildCare a bit, and I just love

them. Great people and great

work. This is a chance for someone

to work outdoors, avoid business suits, hang with positive, dedicated, caring

people and help stop the root cause

of a lot of animal abuse (instead of just flailing away at the symptoms).

Don’t

respond to me, the application info is below.

Thanks!

Alex

If you go, please say hello to

SparkleToes. She’s a sweet

pigeon who was rescued on Christmas Eve, injured and hungry on the streets of

the Tenderloin. Jack Norris of

Vegan Outreach rescued and named her, Kelle from PETA (also a WildCare

volunteer) took her in,

then WildCare fixed her up.
